Does this look like a Honey Dew Melon and not a cantelope? Took too many pics this afternoon and now I'm not sure.
Melon?
A smaller Honey Dew? Kinda doubt it but I can't figure out what it might be.

Cantelope?
Pic #3
Pic#1 appears to be a honeydew type, The others appear to be canteloupe types but different cultivars. You must have quite a mix there.
Thank you so much Farmerdill. :) Now I can enter the melon in the PlantFiles. :) Now that you say two different canteloupe I remember I planted seed but purchased some started ones when some hills weren't showing (of course after they did germinate).
I won't be saving seed from my garden patch. ;)
Actually there are about 50 cultivars of honeydew and and many more times that of canteloupes. No way to identify cultivars from pictures. You narrow it somewhat with flesh color, skin color, shape, sutures , netting but still difficult.
I had no idea there were that many..... I do know the name of the honey dew melon however. I won't enter the canteloupe unless I can find the seed package or label from the purchased plants.
